Forum for Windows Speech Recognition
mma...@gmail.com
http://www.msspeech-fourm.com
is dedicated to users of Microsoft's speech recognition software built
into Vista and Windows 7. There are six discussion areas related to
different aspects and topics of interest to users. Although there is
already a Microsoft speech users group as part of Yahoo groups, we
decided to create this forum because it will be easier to follow
discussion threads. You will only receive e-mail replies to the topics
you find of interest.
Most of the discussion areas are for receiving answers to basic
questions about the Windows™ Speech Recognition software. There are
also discussion areas for microphones and sound cards as well as a
special area for people with disabilities to discuss how to accomplish
various computer tasks. You will find the macro users discussion is
for high level users involved in programming scripts to accomplish
various tasks. For example, a script could be written to give you the
weather report at any time you request it with just a simple verbal
command. Even if you are a new user, we encourage you to look at this
area and make requests. There are likely to be skilled programmers who
will take up the challenge to create a script to accomplish what you
require.
Each of the forum discussion areas is moderated by Speech Recognition
professionals were highly advanced amateurs. For example, the general
discussion area is moderated by Rob Chambers of Microsoft's Speech
Recognition workgroup. The disabilites section is moderated by Jerry
Ferro who has been using Microsoft speech to accomplish tasks that
would normally be beyond him with his disability.
The forum is hosted by www.mymsspeech.com a subsidiary of
eMicrophones, Inc. owned by Marty Markoe. Marty Markoe has almost 15
years experience with speech recognition software. He originally
started out as an IBM business partner for Speech Recognition. In the
summer of 2006 he was invited out to Redmond Washington to be given an
overview of the soon-to-be released Windows™ Speech Recognition in the
Microsoft Vista operating system.
eMicrophones, Inc. recently developed the WSR Toolkit. This toolkit
and it's much of the functionality of other Speech Recognition
programs. Applets include the ability to transcribe from a wave file,
create text macros, and improve your acoustic and language models by
adding words and documents.
We view this forum as a work in progress. Your comments will be
appreciated and if at all possible accomodated.
Sincerely,
Marty Markoe, eMicrophones, Inc.
